A's 6, Blue Jays 4

Good Joe made an appearance tonight, for the second start in a row. Good Joe is a good thing for the A's, because Good Joe is likely on the trading block this winter. The more we see of Good Joe, the more likely Good Joe will net us some nice prospects in a trade.

Sure, Good Joe could be an A next year. But the fact that Billy was actively shopping him over the deadline means something. The fact that it's August 21 and the A's are under .500 means something. If Good Joe continues to be Good Joe, it could mean something.

But enough speculation - let's talk about Jack Hannahan. He will probably be one of those "Remember that guy?" guys in a few years, but for now, I'm enjoying watching this guy come out of nowhere and get his shot. He won that game last night for Good Joe with his three-run homer. Marco Scutaro may not be happy about his lack of playing time, but with the state of the team as it is, it makes sense to play Jack every day.

Today Dan Haren takes on the recently red-hot Dustin McGowan. Can Dan keep his grib on the Cy Young award or will it continue to slip away?

Go A's!!!!
